Why does 'ignore-line yes' ignore the _current_ word too? If this is somehow useful in some cases, could we get another option ignoring all words except the current one? I'm almost burned myself when using zstyle ':completion:*:(mv|rm|kill|diff):*' ignore-line yes and doing rm someprefix in a directory with files 'someprefix' and 'someprefix_important'. In this case someprefix will expand to someprefix_important (minimal rc file inclued) > ignore-line > > This is tested for each tag valid for the current completion.
